Vocational Qualifications

In Hesse, a master craftsperson's certificate and other vocational qualifications that are considered to be equal to a master craftsperson's certificate qualify you to study at a university and allow you to apply directly to a university or professional academy. In addition, a further group of people with vocational qualifications can sit an exam for university entry.

More information on opportunities for people with professional qualifications can be foundhere (in German only).

Further Potential Requirements for Admission

In addition to the regular higher education entrance qualification, universities may require pre-university internships, creative aptitude tests or apprenticeship or training contracts with partnering businesses. Please consult the detailed information posted by the degree programs you are interested in.

RheinMain University of Applied Sciences offers degree programs with both limited and unlimited admission. Prospective students applying for programs with unlimited admission are certain to receive a place provided they fulfill the admission requirements of the degree program in question and submit the necessary application documents in time.

All prospective students who wish to enroll in a bachelor's or diploma degree program with limited admission need to apply for a place first. The university allocates its places for first-semester students according to the Hesse regulations governing the allocation of places at university. This allocation procedure is explained below.

NC and NC Values of Past Allocation Procedures

The quotas in admission procedures for limited-admission programs may vary from semester to semester.

Waiting Periods

Candidates who do not have a (good) chance of admission without a high score of their university entrance qualification, may have a better chance of gaining a study place with the "collection" of waiting periods.

Matching funds is another component of the STIBET program. In cooperation with the DAAD and the Catholic University community (KHG ) Rüsselsheim, international students who are in financial need can obtain short-term support.
